🛒 Ingredients

4 servings

4
  • 700 g dogfish steaks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into rings
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into rings
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into rings
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato sauce
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Mixed fish seasoning or dried herbs

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a wide, deep pan over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until soft and lightly golden.

  2. 2

    Gently lay the dogfish steaks on top of the onion without stirring.

  3. 3

    Season with salt, black pepper, and your chosen fish seasoning or herbs.

  4. 4

    Layer the bell pepper rings, diced tomato, and tomato sauce evenly over the fish.

  5. 5

    Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes without stirring, allowing the fish to hold its shape.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately with white rice and a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired.

💡 Chef's Tip

Resist lifting the lid or stirring during cooking — low, steady heat and a sealed pot are what keep the fish moist and the steaks beautifully intact.
